The NHL/NHLPA FIRST SHIFT program is designed to create a positive, welcoming, and fun introduction to hockey for new-to-hockey families. Our goal is to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience that showcases the best parts of Canada’s favorite sport.
Through this program, we aim to:

✅ Help kids develop skills and confidence on the ice
✅ Create an unforgettable first hockey experience!
This is the perfect opportunity for kids who have never played hockey before to get started in a fun, structured, and supportive environment—and fall in love with the game!
